# NPOWER Software - Advanced Modeling Plugins for 3DSMAX and RHINO

##

Release Notes:

Power Surfacing 4.2 - September 28, 2017

1. Support for SolidWorks 2018
2. New tools in menu for aligning and placing reference meshes (align to X, Y, Z and -X, -Y, -Z; Move to origin)
3. Align to SolidWorks plane and Move to a SolidWorks plane are fixed for reference mesh
4. Flip Faces is now Flip All Faces and Flip Selected Faces for improved control
5. Draw Edges and Insert Edges now orbit around the last selected
6. Shrink Wrap now works better with hard edges (100% creased edges). They won't move when doing Shrink Wrap
7. Shrink Wrap and constraints now work well together
8. Fixed bug in scaling / rotating points in SubD display mode
9. Add To Mesh (adding to reference mesh) now produces correctly oriented meshes

Power Surfacing 4.1.8 - August 17, 2017

1. Fixed conversions of models with constraints (not going to correct positions)
2. Fixed boundaries on planar faces
3. Added support for space bar UI to allow for user to rotate view in the middle of selection (without losing selection)
4. Fixed issues with offset constraints when using thicken (on the offset surface)

Power Surfacing 4.1.7 - July 27, 2017

1. Create from sketch fix
2. Fixed issue returning to edit mode
3. Added ability to use a plane for mirroring (if no object is selected)
4. Deleting unwanted SubDs didn't always cleanup perfectly before (now fixed)

Power Surfacing 4.1.6 - July 21, 2017

1. Fixed file corruption with some assembly models
2. Force planar faces to be planar
3. Display dimension values
4. Fix undo / backspace key (Ctrl Z)
5. Conversion of symmetry always will create symmetric results now
6. Fixed problem with conversion of symmetry with constraints

Power Surfacing 4.1.3 - June 27, 2017

1. Fixed a problem with migrating old (2.4, 3.0) models into 4.1 if those models have mirror planes
2. Improved general migration of old models

Power Surfacing 4.1.2 - June 19, 2017

1. Fixed a problem with Save All with multiple parts open simultaneously
2. Insert Edges / Create Faces - backspace undo improvements

Power Surfacing 4.1 - May 19, 2017

1. Assemblies: full support for creation / editing in assembly mode
2. Macro feature: automatic updating / multi-body Power Bodies
3. Conversion options: automatic trim & sew / large mesh support
4. Surface creation workflow: new paradigm for creating SubDs
5. Shrink wrap options
6. Quad wrap
7. Smart fill
8. Edit Reference mesh new tools
9. Significant improvement in shrink wrap performance
10. Accelerated face painting
11. Fixed crashing bug on AMD Firepro graphics cards

Power Surfacing 2.4 - December 10, 2015

1. Critical patch for fixing software expirations. This applies to all users.

Power Surfacing 2.3 - November 18, 2015

1. Extend student and reseller licenses so that they do not expire.
2. Otherwise, this should behave exactly like 2.2 as no other changes were made.

Power Surfacing 2.2 - June 5, 2015

1. Added ability to edit a reference mesh with tools to create selections and apply transforms.
2. Further development and refinement of importing CAD data for constraints/references.
3. General stability.

Power Surfacing 2.1 - April 21, 2015

1. Added more functionality when constraining to a reference mesh with the Interpolation tool.
2. Improved surface imports when applying constraints.

Power Surfacing 2.0 - January 12, 2015

1. Added the ability to constrain to Solidworks geometry.

Power Surfacing 1.10 - Feb 5, 2013

1. General stability improvements in many different commands.
2. Simplified and reorganized the user interface.
3. Fixed known crashes and dead ends in workflow.
4. Improved conext sensitive tool availability.
